HAPPINESS ON HOLD….

Life is too short, must read.

“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”
Keisha A. Green

Happiness On Hold
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married,
have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids
aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are. After
that, we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will
certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell
ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or
her act together, when we get a nicer car, are we able to go on a
nice vacation, or when we retire. The truth is, there’s no better
time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will
always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself
and decide to be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So, treasure
every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared
it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with.. and
remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting….
–until your car or home is paid off
–until you get a new car or home
–until your kids leave the house
–until you go back to school
–until you finish school
–until you lose 10 lbs.
–until you gain 10 lbs.
–until you get married
–until you get a divorce
–until you have kids
–until you retire
–until summer
–until spring
–until winter
–until fall
–until you die

There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a
journey, not a destination. So —
Work like you don’t need money,
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
And dance like no one’s watching.

THOUGHT….


h1 Tuesday, July 19th, 2005

A young lady, named Sally, relates an experience she had in a
seminary class given by her teacher, Dr.Smith. She says Dr. Smith
was known for his elaborate object lessons. One particular day,
Sally walked into the class and knew they were in for a fun day.

On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts.
Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they
disliked or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow
them to throw darts at the person’s picture.

Sally’s girlfriend drew a picture of a girl who had stolen her
boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother.
Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of
detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally
was pleased at the overall effect she had achieved. The class lined
up and began throwing darts, with much laughter and hilarity.

Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their
targets were ripping apart. Sally looked forward to her turn, and
was filled with disappointment when Dr. Smith, because of time
limits, asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat
thinking about how angry she was because she didn’t have a chance
to throw any darts at her target, Dr. Smith began removing the
target from the wall. Underneath the target was a picture of
Jesus…..

A complete hush fell over the room as each student viewed the
mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face
and His eyes were pierced. Dr. Smith said only these words…..
“In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto Me.” Matthew 25:40

No other words were necessary; the tear-filled eyes of each student
focused only on the picture of Christ.

Pass it on. Jesus said, “If you are ashamed of me, I will be
ashamed of you before my Father.”
If you’re not ashamed, pass this on.
